Limestone Presbyterian Church will host the University of South Carolina’s, “COCKY’S READING EXPRESS” Book Mobile, at our church on Tuesday, August 12 at 10:30 am. This is a free community event for young children. Each child in attendance will receive a Free Book from the USC Cocky’s Book Mobile. Please RSVP to 489-6079 for a head count. Cockys Reading Express™ is a collaboration between the University of South Carolina Student Government and the School of Library and Information Science Center for Childrens Books and Literacy. USC students travel the state with their friend, Cocky, visiting elementary schools across South Carolina. The students read to the children, and Cocky helps the children understand the importance of life-long reading. The program primarily serves students in 4K through second grade because research shows that if children acquire strong reading skills and a love of reading by the end of second grade they are more likely to succeed academically and graduate on time. Our priority is reaching students in under served public schools. All the children are given books to take home, reminders of their visit from Cocky and the USC students. The USC students know they are making reading fun — one Gamecock at a time.
